Variant spelling of batholithic; relating to or characterized by batholiths.
Alternative form of batholithic using -itic instead of -ic, both from Greek bathos + lithos. This variant appears in some geological literature interchangeably with batholithic.
Scientists sometimes use slightly different spellings of technical terms, and batholitic vs. batholithic is one of those cases where both are correct—kind of like how English tolerates both 'ketchup' and 'catsup'!
